Reading about Bill Nelson

I’ve just got this book and I’m really looking forward to reading it having just listened to the whole of the latest Bill Nelson collection “The Practice of Everyday Life”, which has been great to hear again.

I don’t often read biographies, but I’m going to try this one and see if I can get on with it.

Listening to Bill Nelson’s “The Practice of Everyday Life”

Not for the faint hearted that’s to be sure. I’ve been a Bill Nelson fan for a very long time, and I knew that I had to get this collection when it came out. It’s 8 CDs and covers everything from his first solo album, through Be Bop Deluxe and Bill Nelson’s Red Noise, and beyond. So far I’ve listened to 5 CDs of the compilation, and I’m just at some of the tracks from “Blue Moons and Laughing Guitars”, which was an excellent album and one I’ve not listened to in a long time.

It’s great to hear all these tracks again, I’m really enjoying listening to it again.

Doctor Who: Nightmare of Eden

I watched this the other day. Certainly not one of the best Tom Baker stories, but it is ok. Interesting to see the documentary about the making of the story, and especially the t-shirts they had designed at the end of the filming.

Good to watch, not the greatest execution, but a good story nonethless.

Sky

So this was taken a while back at the beach. It was a lovely day and a beautiful sky.

Not sure what this is really

But when I saw it I knew I had to take a photo of it, so I did. It looks like the inside of tube that’s been filled up with concrete, but I doubt it is, as why would you do that?

Anyway, I’m sure it has some purpose.

Survivors

I never watched the whole of this series on the BBC so I’m giving it another go on Netflix to see what it’s like. I can just about remember the original series back in the 70’s although it’s a faint memory now.

I’m not sure how long I watched it for when it first came out, but I don’t think I even got half way through, so it’s interesting to see it again now.
